I’m just a simple 30 something year old woman with a not so simple life.
Nothing to look at; overweight, short, hormonal girl, living in a tiny country town in rural NSW.
Plain. Mousey.
I love to write though and it makes me feel beautiful.
I hate the telephone, love scrapbooking, love, love LOVE photography and I love my family.
Oh yeah and blogging.
My favourite food is ice cream.
Here’s the thing;
I have seven children.
Yes.
You heard me right.
Seven.
Before you tell me I’m crazy or a breeder or say something weird like; ‘You must have your hands full’ or Don’t you know what a television is?’, just keep reading.
Ok?
I didn’t plan it that way. I wanted four children, so still a big family, in this day and age but I can honestly say I never thought I would have that many kids.
The thing is, I cheated.
I had a set of twins first up, then a singleton two years later.
When she was two we took on fostering our two nephews. It was supposed to be temporary. Now we have permanent custody of them until they turn 18.
I’ve lost a baby when he was five days old in 2004.
That led us to try again and in 2005 we welcomed our second set of twins.
So, there you go.
Cheated.
I am married to my long suffering husband, who I love very much.
I was a midwife in another life but at the moment, I am practicing at being a SAHM.
I say practicing because this is the first time I haven’t worked in…well, a long time.
This home is busy, challenging, noisy, chaotic and I love it… most of the time.
